Admissions Committee Decision-Making Process
The Florida International University College of Law Admissions Committee
seeks to enroll a diverse group of students who have demonstrated
academic and personal achievement. The College of Law wishes to
advance the intellectual growth of its students as well as their
development of skills and values useful to the ethical, effective
practice of law.
While a prospective student’s academic record and LSAT performance
are weighted heavily in the evaluative process, the Admissions Committee
considers other factors including leadership ability, commitment
to public service, command of global issues, work history, military
service, any history of criminality or academic misconduct and evidence
of obstacles that an applicant may have overcome (for example, English
is not the applicant’s native language, discrimination, economic
or family hardship, severe medical condition, etc.) The Admissions
Committee encourages each applicant to answer all questions with
candor, detail and, where appropriate, specific examples of relevant
background experiences.
Campus Visit
The College of Law understands the significance of the decision
to attend law school and the differences between each law school's
campus culture and environment, and therefore, encourages you to
visit our community. Individual appointments and group informational
sessions are scheduled throughout the year.
Accreditation
On December 1, 2006, the Florida International University College of Law received official notice that its program was granted full accreditation by the American Bar Association.
